Washington Presbytery Will Vote (on the Question of Revision March 8. After the report of the meeting of the Wash- ington city presbytery closed in yesterday's Stax Rev. Dr. Ramsdell concluded his argu- ment against revision. He said that he saw no necessity for any change at this time. What was needed, in his opinion, was a more care- fu) and general study of the confession and then it would be foun€ that it was broad enough and liberal enough for the modern church. The next speaker was Rev. Mr. Fairly and then the presbytery adjourned to meet March Sat10 o'clock. It was decided that the general discussion of revision should come to an end at 12:30 on that day. The members of the committee will then be given an opportunity to speak and at 3:30 a vote will be taken on the first question of the overture as to whether a revision is desired. ——_—e—____ He Held the Check. To the Editor of Tux Evxxine Stan: You unintentionally put me in a wrong light before the public in the Brooks trial yester- day, making it appear as though I refused to hold the check until the last of the week. I held the check until the following Friday, and finding then that his account had been over- drawn several months, that he had made an as- signment or gave bill of sale of his stable the day before he gave the check and that he was ready to leave town, I had him arrested. After arrest fags was offered, but be ned the ad- vice of the United States district attorney I re- fused to accept it, as a charge of compounding felony might be charged against me. ames 8, Toruam. ee The Pan-Electric Case.

But it is probably more the action and the general merits of the company than the music itself that pleases, The migratory character of the piece adds not a little to its in- terest. The changing scenes and new cos- tu as they pass from Bavaria to Paris, to Sweden and to Venice, prevent monotony, The principal voices are good and they are supported by an unusu- ally strong chorus, Eugene Oudin’s singing in the role of Rudolf was especially good. In his song to Stella in the second act he was above the general requirements of light opera and brought down the house. Bertha Ricci as Stella wppeared to be somewhat nervous in the eariy part of the evening. as it was her first appearance in the role. Later, however, she gained confidence and showed that her voice has lost none of its smypathetic sweetness, De Wolf Hopper. who is a great favorite here, as he is everywhere, had an opportunity in the role of Casimir’ to display his romping poe: which never fails to please, and was ept on the stage more than his allotted time. Everybody did as well as any one in the aadi- ance desired and the house is sure to be not less crowded during the rest of the week than it was last night, Saturday night Rudolf Dell- inger’s “Captain Fracassa” will be presented for the first time in Washington, NaTionaL.—"The Wife,” produced last night at the National, is one of those strong society plays which have of late become so character- istic of the Lyceum theater. ‘The Wife” isa strong, well-constructed play. Some of the characters tax one’s imagination to some ex- tent, but once accepted the play is agem, how- ever. “The Wife” has been seen here before and theater goers are familiar with its points, ‘The play was well staged last evening and the characters were all well assumed. Hannis’—“The White Slave."—The suc- cess which marked this well - known play at its introduction in this house early in the season was not wanting lastnight, as the ap- plause of the large audience testified. The company presenting the play is complete and decidedly above the average, while the stage settings are realistic and highly appropriate. The Lisa of Miss Elizabeth Gath of last even- ing was pleasing und showed great dramatic force, and the Wdiam Lacy of James G, Tighes was a clever piece of acting, Kennay’s.—Bennett Bros,’ All-American star specialty company, with Peter Jackson, the champion colored pugilist of the world, as aspe- cial drawing card, opened to the largest house of the season at this well-known resort last night, The sporting element of Washington, both high and low, was there and many comments were passed on the oe fight between Sul- livan und Jackson. ‘The Bennetts gave a highly interesting exhibition with revolver, shotgun and rifle. Then came Jackson, There was a murmur of satisfaction when the big fellow appeared and Jackson bowed his acknowledg- ments to the thundering applause which fol- lowed, Jack Ashton of Providence, who was the opponent of Jackson, looked well but uot in the best condition, while Jackson looked like « barrel of spikes, so prominent were his muscles, ‘The men soon caine to time and gave a good exhibition, It would be difficult to criticise Jackson, His movements are eat his hitting straight and he has « long reach, He did not have a chance to let himself out last night, as the bout was only a friendly one, Next Thursday night the public will have better chance to judge of the big black’s pew: ers, as an unknown Washington man will en- deavor to capture the $100 which the manage- ment has offered to any one standing up four rounds, a A Parting Gift. Dr. Jas. J. Clark, formerly of Philadelphia, and who recently resigned after a service of twenty years in the coast and geodetic survey, was presented with a gold-headed cane by his old associates in the survey Saturday. A New Social Club. A social club, to be known as the Unity circle, has been organized, with officers as follows: L H, Wallerstein, president; Simon Lyon, vice president; Jacob G. Cohen, secre- tary, and Harry Rothschild, treasurer. Its membership is composed of enterprising 4oung men whose efforts and popularity will no doubt make it a suceess, —_——_—___ - Might Have Been a Blow Up. ‘There was a scare at the government printing office Saturday night when the Congressional Record force was at work. The water got too low in one of the boilers and the noise made by the escaping steam was heard all through the building. Themen at work in the boiler room did the proper thing and averted what might have proven a serious catastrophe. The fire was withdrawn and the boiler is again in use. — eee John Cosgrove’s Will. ‘The will of the late John Cosgrove, an old soldier, was filed yesterday. He leaves $1,700 in bank, and directs, after the payment of small legacies, that the remainder go to the ex- ecutors of the First National Society of Spiritu- alists of Washington, to be applied to needy persons, and names John B. Wolff or his suc- cessor as president of the society executor. The Fielden-Nally Mill Rather Tame. The mill last night between Joe Fielden, the English light weight, and Billy Nally, the Balti- more boy, took place up the river and was largely attended. No blood was shed and the exhibition, while scientific, was in a measure disappointing to the tators. The mill was — by an exhibition of club swinging by ielden and @ set-to by Reidy and Mc: both of which were interesting. ee An Attempted Robbery. Burglars entered the house of Mra, J. OC.

William Sturgis, who heard the cry for help, succeeded in pulling the man out of the water, but it was then too late, Restoratives were applied, but without effect. The body was removed to the seventh precinct station house. It was that of a well-dressed man abont forty-five years old and wearing a Grand Army badge. In his pockets were found an envelope addressed to Christopher Edie, old war and navy division, pension office, a meal ticket of the Clifton cafe, and papers showing him to have served in com- pany C, 12th New York volunteers. The body was identified by Mr. C. W. Filer, chief of the old war and navy division of the pension office, as that of Christopher Edie, a searcher in that division. The ungarded condition of the canal at that point where the unfortunate man fell into the water makes travel there, either on foot or otherwise, very dangerous. It is to be hoped that a railing or a guard of some sort will now be placed there, Sentous Runaway Accrpenr.—Last night about 10 o'clock a pair of horses attached to a carriage and driven by John Thomas, colored, became unmanageable and ran away, At the corner of 32d and Q streets one of the horses slipped and fell, causiug the driver to fall and break his arm. The injuries to the horse were of such a nature that it had to be killed, ‘The team was the property of Keyes & Smith, Mth street. A Veny PLeasaxt MusicaLe was given last night at the residence of Mrs, Samuel W. Wheat- They parted on the best of settlement. The commission, consisting of Gen, Whittlesey, C, A. Maxwell of the Interior department and D. W. Diggs of Dakota, ob- about three-fifths of the Indians to the agreement, which allows them $2.50 an acre for all lands thrown open. As it is also provided that settlers shall pay $2.50an acre for the lands there is really no expense te the government.” “The-lands being surrounded by an improved country ought to be worth more than that and if speculators gobble it up you will be no bet- ter off than before?” “That is true; the lands might sell at auc- tion for #5 an acre, and, so far as we are con- cerned, a speculator is not much better than an Indian, The lands are just across the line in the four northeast counties of South Dakota, and we want bona fide settlers to come in, build homes, improve farms and trade with us, Some provision will be made limiting the amount of land one person may buy.” 4 oe the allotment keep the Indians ina ody?" “Oh, no; they are to be scattered around among the settlers. That is the only solution of the Indian question, They have been there since 1851, when it was a wild frontier with many dangere, but now, with civilization all around them, it is time for the tribal relation to be broken up and the lands occupied and tilled, The earth was theirs, but the fullness thereof comes only with the white man,” Descendants of Xenophon’s ‘*Ten Thous- and.” The province of Trebizond is the topic treated of by U.8. Consul Jewett in a late report to the State department. Among other interest- ing facts he refers to the existence of a pecu- liar colony of people residing in this region who have a claim upon the attention and sym- pathy of every student of the classics, He ga! ‘Some forty miles south of Trebizond there is community which ws highly interesting tu the students of history and of sociology. When the ‘Ten Thousand,” on the famous retreat described by Xenophon, passed through this country a portion of the army was cut off from the main body and left behind, They were well treated by the surrounding tribes, intermarried with them and settled down permanently in a community of their own, ie people now living in the district referred to, included in some nine villages, claim to be the direct de- scendants of these soldiers of Xenophon. Their language is Greek and they profess the Christ- ian religion, though under the pressure of the Moslem conquest they nominally adopted Mohammedanism. Some thirty years ago they formally declared themselves Christians, but, on the other hand, many of them bear Moham- medan names and in every village there is a mosque. As Christian subjects in the Ottoman empire are exempt from military service, pay- ing a head-tax instead, the anomalous position these people hold frequently causes difficulties with the authorities, ‘Their iocal custoins, di- alect, traditions and mixed religion offer an interesting field for inyes| ation and study."’ Dom Pedro’s Property. The following is the latest news from Rio de Janeiro: Lieut. Col. Lassance, a former mem- ber of the imperial staff, who was asked by the provisional government to assume charge of Dom Pedro's property, having declined to act, the minister of justice appointed an admuinis- trator to do so, soweky and other valuables were listed by the chief of police as follows: Household plate, #600,000; jewels of the em- press, 1,500,000; jewels of the emperor, $200,- ; the crown, $500,000, Total, 2,800,000. ‘These were deposited in the name of Pedro de Secuntara with the treasurer of the republic ‘The carriages and horses are valued at @150,- ley, 30th street, for the benefit of Christ | 000; the furniture, $15,000; museum and library, P.E. church co-league. rticipated were Mrs. Patton, Mra.
